Inspiration & Reference
I just wanted to know if people had any links to good websites for either level design inspiration (photos, paintings, concept art, etc.) or just for architectural reference. We had a thread like this on the old qmap, but we know how much good that does us.

Hard-ons 
from teh 31st century! 
Frank Frazetta 
is the man. He's always been one of my favorites, and is often imitated, but few artists have the sheer talent and style to get away with it.

Also 
apologies if this has been posted here before, but I hadn't seen a lot of these:

Be sure to go on to part two. 
 
Not sure if it was mentioned in your link, but I heard Frazetta lost his right arm (his drawing arm) to a stroke or somesuch, and re-learned to draw with his left arm.

Fucking gosu. Props. Mad props. 
Nice... 
seen about half of those.

but WTF... they listed Agbar Tower twice! (ones as "Torre Agbar") 
Stefan Hoenerloh 
I saw a poster of some picture of this guy yesterday because there will be an exhibition in Hamburg. Thought "BANG! Inspiration!".

http://www.hoenerloh.de/startframe_en.html (a bump actually, it was posted just a few hundred posts ago. But it's so level designish.) 
 
That's pretty cool 
 
Yeah, I've seen those before. They just SCREAM Quake level to me. So nice. 
Yeah... 
Those are very nice, thanks for the link. 
Those Are Awesome But 
 
Who Needs English Anyways 
Nice Photos But... 
NOTE TO PHOTOGRAPHERS: step away from the high-pass filter. Your fake HDR does not impress us. 
That's Not Fair 
It depresses me, at least. 
Icebergs 
Strange But Nice 
Vondur Just Posted This 
Michigan Central Station 
 
that already looks like CGI! 
That's Because 
it's shitty fake 'hdr' 
Preach 
Oh, nice arches and curves everywhere inside the station... very cool place that gives me plenty of idea for my next map :D 
The Sixties 
Somehow that was the apex of cool technology.

Inflatable space radio reflectors, Echo and Pageos. Brighter than most stars viewed from Earth's surface. 
Oh Forgot Link 
Nice Concept Pics 
It's Fake HDR! 
we all already know this with our own eyes. Why must somebody inevitably always, always, always make a point of mentioning in the post after that something is phoney photoshopped HDR like effects? We get it, comment on the actual pictures themselves if you're gonna.

and to contribute some pictures that are unrelated to my whining.

a little bit bright for our FPS tastes, but the idea is there.
